Popup Menus

Acolyte

<div class="IPBDescription">Post your best mod of this menu here!</div> Well, here's my communication popup menu I used before I got my micro back (again)

If you want to see how it works, copy the below text into newly created file called commandmenu.txt int your Half-Life/ns directory and when you are in game go to console and type
bind whatever_key_is_best_for_you +commandmenu
(Please note that you cant use both menus in same commandmenu.txt file since I couldn't figure out what statement I'd have to use (e.g TEAM Aliens or SIDE 1))

Well, here it goes!

// Command Menu definition
//********************************ALIENS MENU***************************************
//********************************ALIENS MENU***************************************
//********************************ALIENS MENU***************************************
// Basic Format:

If you join ANY public server and use that script to get your upgrades, the team will be screaming at you to shut up. No one wants to know (or needs to know, most of the time) what upgrades you're getting.

Other than that it looks quite good.

Berger

It seems like this is an awful lot of work/key presses for a limited extent of what one can do with a microphone. It looks very nice though, some folks will be glad to have it.

Error404

Wow, appreciate the effort you put into this. Like the author said, it's meant to be customisable, so you don't have to use <b>all</b> of it, just use the parts that you think you'll find useful.

cottonbullets

This is really awesome, I had no idea this kind of thing was possible. I can't use a mic because of other people in the house, so this kicks ****!

Anyone know how to make it work for both teams in one?

Lightning_Blue

maybe try team1 and team2?

Arcadius

Ok, here's what I do to have specialized menus for each team. I created three new cfg files, one for aliens, marines, and for comm. Basically each one has keys bound to the specific impulses I'll need for the diff actions of each role. (ie the key for dropping health for comm.cfg is the same key as evolving carapace in the alien.cfg. Since I have a button bound to exec whicheverone.cfg, when I push that button my entire keyboard is rearranged to fit that new role. Works rather well. You could combine that with this new methord by having a cfg for each role and have the same key bound for calling u pthe menu in each cfg only have it call the appropriate menu, say commandmenualien.txt, or commandmenumarine.txt. This way it would be set up for each team along with all your other keys with the push of one button. If this is too confusing or too vague let me know I'll go into more detail.

PS: I'd advice makign the commandmenu without the constant "I'm doing such and such" messages. That does get annoying. But that's just me.

you can only call one command menu : commandmenu.txt

also directred towards SoulSkorpion : while your script is very good , and im only assuming here, but yourse isnt a mod of the pop up in game cmmandmenu like his is.

TheHornet

excellent work, me likes!

You messed up in one part of your code.

You had put in two 7's but I'm sure others have noticed this.
